Nowadays, the digital images are used widely due to the development of sophisticated technologies. The recent device that is very popular among its users related to digital images is smartphone. This is due to nowadays smartphone is embedded with its own camera that can capture digital images. Nevertheless, the digital image is easily exposed to various types of noise, especially the Poisson noise in low light condition. Therefore, this study aims to develop a new denoising technique for Poisson noise removal in low light condition digital images. This study proposes a denoising method named as OTSUHARAWATH Filter, which utilizes the Otsu Threshold, Kuwahara Filter and Wavelet Threshold. The proposed methods performance is evaluated based on the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Squared Error (MSE) and visual inspection. The comparison between the proposed methods and the existing denoising methods is also performed. From the results of PSNR, MSE, computational time and visual inspection, it can be proven that the OTSUHARA-WATH Filter is able to reduce and smooth noise, while preserving the edges and fine details of the image at low and medium level of Poisson noise in comparison to the existing methods.Downloads
